SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Too lazy to use Dosbox? Finding old files too hard? Abandonware files zipped in 50 parts and one is corrupted while it took you 5 days to download it from Nepalese server any way? Well apparently Web Archives released a hugeass archive of games that you can play online, with a handy Dosbox plugin taking care of all. A lot of them are apparently demo versions (sadly), but there is Kingmaker!

Meh. I tried using that site and all I get is the spinning disk symbol every time. Yeah, I have the latest Firefox, have unblocked cookies for the site, have Javascript running. Still nothing.

I used to play Centurion Defender of Rome for hours on the Amiga. I think it was a better gaming platform than the early PCs and certainly less fiddly to mess about with, what with trying to eke 600k of memory together from config.sys or whatever it was.

Can you snapshot the games or is there no save facility?
